Bar Hebraeus (also Gregory Abu'l Faraj) was a prominent Syrian Christian cleric of the 13th century and author of works on numerous subjects. His Chronography (translated from Syriac by E.A. Wallis Budge), based on sources extant and lost, is a treasure for historians and anthropologists among others. Beginning with Creation, it extends to the author's death in 1286 and was continued an additional ten years by his brother. An invaluable source by a reliable and erudite individual. Available as a pdf file, in 403 searchable and bookmarked pdf pages. Attached to the document is a multilingual HTML version, and links to additional resources. Prepared by Robert Bedrosian. Also available as a separate download is the 12th-century Chronicle of Michael Rabo ("the Great," known also as Michael the Syrian), which was an important source for Bar Hebraeus.
